For fans of Uprooted and For the Wolf comes a dark, lushly gothic fantasy about a maiden who must unleash the monster within to save her kingdom—but the monster in her head isn't the only threat lurking. Elspeth needs a monster. The monster might be her. Elspeth Spindle needs more than luck to stay safe in the eerie, mist-locked kingdom she calls home—she needs a monster. She calls him the Nightmare, an ancient, mercurial spirit trapped in her head. He protects her. He keeps her secrets. But nothing comes for free, especially magic. When Elspeth meets a mysterious highwayman on the forest road, her life takes a drastic turn. Thrust into a world of shadow and deception, she joins a dangerous quest to cure the kingdom of the dark magic infecting it. Except the highwayman just so happens to be the King’s own nephew, Captain of the Destriers…and guilty of high treason. He and Elspeth have until Solstice to gather twelve Providence Cards—the keys to the cure. But as the stakes heighten and their undeniable attraction intensifies, Elspeth is forced to face her darkest secret yet: the Nightmare is slowly, darkly, taking over her mind. And she might not be able to stop him.

WARNING: California’s Proposition 65 Editorial Reviews Review "Thick fog, shifting alliances, and clever magic make the perfect backdrop for a sweeping romance—One Dark Window is enthralling from beginning to shocking end."―Hannah Whitten, NYT bestselling author of For the Wolf "An enchanting tale with sharp claws and teeth—Gillig’s prose will pull you in and won’t let you sleep. Pulse-pounding, darkly whimsical, and aglow with treacherous magic, One Dark Window is everything I love in fantasy and more"―Allison Saft, author of A Far Wilder Magic "One Dark Window is an evocative tale of romance, mystery and alluring monsters, told in beautifully lush prose. Rachel Gillig has created a story which left me entranced."―Lyndall Clipstone, author of Lakesedge "A tightly written duology that manages to build a dark, twisty world, unique magic system and well-written characters ... rich and fast-paced." ―Seattle Times “[T]he steamy romance that emerges between Elspeth and Ravyn delights. Fans of Sarah J. Maas, Naomi Novik, and Hannah Whitten will want to check this out.”―Publishers Weekly "A beautifully dark fairy tale of blood, rage and bitter choice, that whisked me away to mist-wreathed woods ripe with romance and menace"―Davinia Evans, author of Notorious Sorcerer "Elspeth’s slow-burn romance with a mysterious highwayman adds depth to the story ... A finely detailed magical system enriches Gillig’s debut; fantasy readers will enjoy."―Library Journal "Readers will be enthralled with Elspeth’s—and Nightmare’s—riveting adventure."―Booklist "Spooky, lush...Gillig executes familiar fantasy romance tropes with flair."―Paste Magazine "One Dark Window is a page-turner. Gillig’s lush language is somewhat reminiscent of Alix E. Harrow’s excellent portal fantasy, The Ten Thousand Doors of January, as well as Robin McKinley’s redolent fairytale retellings such as Spindle’s End, Beauty, and Deerskin ... a richly detailed and decadent world that at once feels familiar, distinctive, and wistful to the reader."―Chicago Review of Books About the Author Rachel Gillig was born and raised on the California coast.

Reviewed in the United States on August 1, 2024 Verified Purchase I read a lot of books, all genres, and have for a long time. This book I could tell was different than its counterparts at the start. It's still magic and fantasy with a dash (tiny) of romance. The spice level is half a pepper at best. Magic has always been something I've loved I'm 39 now but I've always loved the idea of it. And Rachel writes it by using what we know of magic but making it her own. In this case the magic is stored in cards and even those who are infected with magic, all of it comes at a price. And you slowly get fed the story of what happened through the voice that lived in the main characters head. The main character is female and a badass in her own right, but with words and not fighting. That alone was a nice change since every book Ive read for the last 20 years, if the lead is female, she's also capable of everything. And tho I am a solo human and enjoy my own company more often than not and am also a runner, I am not at all going to win a fight. So Elspeth, the main character, was more relatable rather than a true fantasy. And neither is wrong, I enjoy both tropes, but it was every nice to have a change of pace. Gillig does a good job of character development, it's probably why I kept reading. The story was very slow at first. I almost put it down and I'm really glad I didn't. I am tired of authors alluding to things but never giving you the full story. And that did get old quick. Fortunately as the story develops, Rachel stopped "hiding" things from the reader and the story started moving quicker, giving you more detail to help you stay invested. She is pretty detailed, but not overly so, which may be why the first part dragged until the action kicked in. Obviously you need to hide somethings, you have a plot to build. It was more of that foreshadowing or just not fully detailing it out or alluding to something more that would get in the way of my enjoyment. Rachel isn't alone in this, it's an overly used writing technique right now, which may be why I noticed it more. All in all, the writing was beautiful, different from anything I've read lately, took me a minute to get used to and I thoroughly enjoyed a shift from my normal pace. I loved that the story was familiar but also so different. And I am left ready to dive into book 2 and cannot wait. If that's what you're looking for, and are also a fan of magical fantasy, try out One Dark Window, I don't think youll regret it. If you are looking for that, Read more 31 people found this helpful Helpful Report hjohnson88 4.0 out of 5 stars a captivating read Reviewed in the United States on January 14, 2025 Verified Purchase One dark window was thrilling and drew me in from the start. I loved the concept of magic used in the story, it was unique and engaging. Though the story was predictable at times, it was a fantastic read and would recommend it. A great fall/winter cozy read with a cast of characters you can’t help but fall in love with. A nonstop page turner that will ensnare you. Already started the second part of this captivating duology. 2 people found this helpful Helpful Report Sarah 5.0 out of 5 stars An amazing read and perfect for spooky season! Reviewed in the United States on March 14, 2025 Verified Purchase I have to thank social media for this one. It was not originally on my list of books to read, but I kept seeing so much hype over it and figured it was a good spooky season read and 20 pages in I knew it was going to be a five star read. The eerie gothic vibes of this book are so perfect for an October read. I’m not a horror reader, and this was a perfect fit to stay in the fantasy realm but still enjoy something spooky and seasonal. The magic system in this book is so cool. I was initially drawn to it because someone online compared it to tarot — (while I can somewhat understand the comparison because of the cards and their meaning, after reading it, I respectfully disagree with that comparison). But regardless it’s one of the coolest magic systems I’ve ever read. Elspeth is such an easy character to relate to. She’s real and she’s raw and she’s sarcastic and witty, but she’s not a brute with an unending pool of confidence and strength (that’s where the Nightmare comes in) I also love Ravyn, and the relationship he has with Elspeth. While this book wasn’t really a romance book and there isn’t much spice, there’s just enough that adds to the plot and character development that also keeps you hooked and wanting more. I would absolutely say this book is a literary work of art. It’s beautifully written, and the addition of the card poems at the beginning of each chapter is so well done. 10000/10 would recommend Read more 2 people found this helpful Helpful Report See more reviews Top reviews from other countries Translate all reviews to English A.Woozlers 5.0 out of 5 stars An Unforgettable Fantasy Thriller – A Must-Read! Reviewed in Canada on February 4, 2025 Verified Purchase I absolutely loved One Dark Window by Rachel Gillig! From the very first page, I was hooked by the dark, atmospheric world and the compelling characters. The plot keeps you on the edge of your seat, filled with twists and turns that make you want to keep reading long into the night. The world-building is immersive, and the magic system is both intriguing and unique. I really appreciated the complex, multidimensional protagonist and the intense tension between characters. The pacing was perfect, and the writing was beautifully detailed without being overwhelming. A fantastic mix of mystery, fantasy, and suspense! I can’t wait for the next book in the series!

Reviewed in Italy on September 27, 2023 Verified Purchase One Dark Window di Rachel Gillig è stato nella mia wishlist per un sacco di tempo ma vuoi per il tanto hype che lo circondava , vuoi per le tante recensioni positive, ero un po’ titubante nell'iniziarlo. Alla fine mi sono lasciata tentare e per fortuna mi sono ritrovata tra le mani un libro che mi è piaciuto tantissimo, che mi ha fatto affezionare ai personaggi, al mondo, all’ambientazione come non succedeva da un po’. Primo libro di una dilogia, chiamata the “Shepherd King”, ha due cose che mi hanno conquistato sin da subito: ambientazione gotica con atmosfere tetre e cupe un sistema magico basato su delle carte, e io da brava fissata per carte e tarocchi sono impazzita per questa cosa Anche perché quest’ultimo è un aspetto centrale della trama stessa, tutto ruota attorno alle carte, e questo offre opportunità intriganti per lo sviluppo dei personaggi e del mondo stesso rendendo la lettura ancora più coinvolgente! La prosa dell'autrice sicuramente è d'aiuto nel tenere incollati alle pagine! Lussureggiante e suggestiva avvolge infatti il lettore in un mondo intriso di mistero e segreti da svelare. La lettura all'inizio può risultare un po' lenta, anche perché sono un po' le informazioni con cui bisogna familiarizzare, ma è facile restare incantati da questo mondo e dalla protagonista Elspeth. Lei è un personaggio che ho davvero apprezzato tanto! Determinata, ma con un spirito arguto, ho amato moltissimo il suo rapporto con Nightmare e anche con Ravyn, personaggio più elusivo ma non meno affascinante. Tra personaggi principali e secondari, Gillig mette su un bel gruppetto con dinamiche, relazioni e soprattutto background, ben costruiti e avvincenti. One Dark Window con la sua combinazione ipnotizzante di atmosfere gotiche, storia e personaggi intriganti ha saputo conquistarmi, diventando uno dei libri preferiti di quest’anno!
